Our girls love to communicate – with each other, with their toys, and especially with B-House and me. The day is full of words. When they are not talking, they are often sending notes – to each other, to their friends and grandparents, and to B-House and me. I found Eleanor busy in the kitchen one morning “writing” and leaving me some pretty notes.Some of the funniest we have seen came from Taylor, left on the floor at the edge of our bed in the morning. She knows she is supposed to wait in her bed for Mommy and Daddy to get her up, but sometimes those words can’t wait! One note read something like this:
“Dear Mommy and Daddy,
Please pray for me. I bumped my hed on my bed. It hurts.
love, Taylor”
Emma’s little notes most often have drawings of people on them – people with large heads, one or two big eyes, and arms and legs protruding from the head. I love those!
And the girls LOVE receiving notes, too. The most thrilling ones come in the mail, but they like getting Mommy’s notes when I remember to write them and leave them by their bed. And Taylor still reminisces about the notes that Eleanor “wrote” and gave to her and Emma when they visited her in the hospital just after she was born (how did she do that?). 🙂
jennifer,
send me your address and I’ll have the dogs send your girls some notes 🙂
Ooh! They would love that! I will message it to you. 🙂
